A year ago, just before Farnborough, Boeing were hoping to present details of their innovative wing fix (along with the AMP avionics upgrade) to the IPT.

Developed as a direct result of the 'in-place' wing box work they did on the C-17, the Boeing scheme did not require wing box removal, and was thus much cheaper than Lockheed's wing box replacement, but effectively re-lifed the airframe.

What happened?
